Sinossi

"She realized there was peace right here in the midst of this heavenly sort of place, despite the unpredictable storm churning around her family." 
 
For generations, Ellie Hostetler's family has tended their Lancaster County orchard, a tradition her twin brother, Evan, will someday continue. Yet when Evan's draft number is called up in the lottery for the Vietnam War, the family is shocked to learn he has not sought conscientious objector status, despite their Old Order Amish belief in non-resistance. The faraway war that has caused so much turmoil and grief among their Englisher neighbors threatens too close to home. 
 
As Evan departs for boot camp, Ellie confides her disappointment to Sol Bontrager, the brother of her best friend and cousin to her new beau, Menno. In contrast to Evan, Sol is a conscientious objector. Despite Ellie's attraction to Menno, she finds herself drawn to Sol's steady presence as they work together in the orchard. Suddenly, it feels as if everything in Ellie's world is shifting, and the plans she held so dear seem increasingly uncertain. Can she and her family find the courage to face a future unlike any they could have imagined? 
 
"This [book] serves as a reminder of why Lewis continues to top bestseller lists."--Publishers Weekly 
 
"The Orchard is a peaceful, heartwarming romance novel set amid the quiet solitude of an Amish family's orchard during the Vietnam War."--Foreword Reviews starred review

    Before God led David to fight Goliath, he sent him other challenging adversaries—specifically a lion and a bear—to prepare David for the big battle to come. In the same way, each challenge we face in life is preparation for the next, even if we'd much rather avoid conflict altogether, thank you very much. 
     
     
     
    Whether it's mean girl culture, peer pressure, a difficult home life, physical or emotional challenges, or the constant barrage of social media slights, young women today have plenty of lions and bears to contend with. This 100-day devotional from New York Times bestselling author Melanie Shankle and her college-age daughter Caroline is your guidebook for how to defeat those giants by trusting God one step at a time. Through Scripture, reflection, and prayer, Caroline helps you learn how to advocate for yourself, lead rather than follow, and develop the strength to never compromise on who God created you to be.

    This insightful book critically examines Seventh-day Adventism, uncovering its flawed foundation, false prophecies, and doctrinal inconsistencies. From the Investigative Judgment to the belief in Jesus as Michael the Archangel, each chapter meticulously refutes key Adventist teachings with biblical exegesis. By challenging Ellen G. White's authority, the scapegoat doctrine, and the Adventist health message, the author provides a compelling biblical perspective that contrasts Adventist theology with orthodox Christian doctrine.  
    A must-read for those seeking clarity on Seventh-day Adventist beliefs and the biblical truths that challenge them.

    Vessels of Love - Prayers and...

    Have you ever thought of yourself as a “vessel of love?” This image speaks to what I envision for the elderhood years. The vast life experiences of the past provided countless opportunities for our love to grow and mature. The persons we have known, what we have done or had done to us, the beliefs stretching our minds and hearts, what we gained and what we shed, the results of our choices and decisions, our deliberate participation in the evolving history of the world―all this and more we bring with us into the final decades. 
     
    During this lifetime, whether we’ve been aware or not, a Presence of immeasurable love has been flowing through those experiences, quietly filling the vessel of our inner being. Like vats of matured wine, our ripened goodness has readied itself to move outward. The Beguine mystic, Mechthild of Magdeburg, trusted that “the great flood of divine love never ceases. ...It flows on and on effortlessly and sweetly and without failing until, finally, our tiny vessel becomes full and spills over.” Now is the efficacious time to tend “our tiny vessel” so this graced goodness strengthens in us and benefits the life of those we encounter. 
     
    This audio edition of Vessels of Love is beautifully narrated by the author, with audio engineering by Mike Thal. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.
